Capture One + BrandStudio

Shoot tethered in Capture One.
Guests get the edited shot before you reset.

Keep everything that makes Capture One worth it — pro tethering, your Styles, your layer edits, your color. The free Auto Export app hands each finished frame to BrandStudio, which brands it and delivers it to the right guest in seconds. No basic camera app. No compromise.

The trade-off, gone

Instant delivery shouldn't cost you Capture One

Most instant-delivery tools make you shoot into their own basic camera app. You lose tethering, you lose your Styles, you lose every edit you would make in post. BrandStudio works the other way around: you shoot and edit in Capture One exactly as you do now, and delivery happens on top of it — branded, face-matched, and instant.

How it works

Four steps, then it runs itself

1

Tether into Capture One

Shoot tethered the way you already do — live view, instant previews, full session structure. Nothing about your capture changes.

2

Style and edit

Apply your Styles, set exposure and color, work your layers, cull your selects. Guests get your finished look — not a flat frame straight off the camera.

3

Auto Export to the Watch Folder

The free Auto Export app links Capture One straight to a watched folder, so every finished frame drops in automatically. Prefer a manual Export recipe? That works too.

4

BrandStudio delivers

The moment a photo lands, BrandStudio brands it with your client's logo and domain, face-matches it to the guest, and sends the gallery. Your unbranded master is always kept.

No compromise

Everything you keep

Your Styles, delivered

The editorial look you built in Capture One is exactly what the guest receives. BrandStudio brands a copy — it never re-edits your photo.

Pro tethering, unchanged

Capture One's tethering, live view, and sessions work exactly as they do today. BrandStudio sits downstream of capture.

Hands-free export

The free Auto Export app removes the manual step. Shoot, edit, and delivery happens in the background — no subscription.

Your client's brand

Logo, colors, and a custom domain on every photo and gallery. BrandStudio stays invisible — guests only see your client.

Face Match built in

Every guest gets the photos they're in, matched automatically from a single selfie. No sorting, no emailing files.

Originals preserved

The unbranded master is always saved, untouched. Your Capture One catalog and your files stay exactly as you left them.

Where it shines

Built for the high-end booth

Tethered headshot lounge

Style the headshot in Capture One; the guest has the finished, retouched shot before they leave the chair.

Red carpet & step-and-repeat

Nail the look on the spot and deliver branded portraits while the line keeps moving.

Galas & awards

Edit the winner's portrait and it's on their phone before they sit back down.

Multi-day conferences

Shoot, Style, export — every session delivered branded, with no end-of-day dump to sort.

Setup

Three things, once

Install the BrandStudio desktop app, point the Watch Folder at your Capture One output folder (or connect the free Auto Export app), and add an Export recipe with your Style. Then shoot — delivery runs itself.

Common questions

Does BrandStudio work with Capture One?

Yes. You shoot and edit in Capture One exactly as you do now, then export to a folder BrandStudio watches. A free Auto Export app links Capture One directly so it happens hands-free.

Do my Capture One Styles and edits get delivered?

Yes — guests receive the finished, exported JPEG with your Styles, color, and edits baked in. BrandStudio adds your client’s branding to a copy on top; it never re-edits your photo.

Does it work with Capture One tethering?

Yes. Tethering is unchanged. BrandStudio works downstream of capture, picking up your exports — your live view, sessions, and tethered shooting stay exactly the same.

What about Lightroom or another editor?

Anything that exports to a folder works. Lightroom uses a manual export to the Watch Folder; the free Auto Export app is Capture One–specific. See the Watch Folder tool for the full picture.

Are my original files safe?

Always. BrandStudio keeps the unbranded original and only brands a copy for delivery. Your Capture One catalog and masters are untouched.
